Introduction

The Linking Network supports schools and communities to develop a positive, cohesive ethos by helping children, young people and adults to explore identity, celebrate diversity, promote community and champion equality

What We Do

We directly deliver a schools linking programme across Bradford and we support a national network of facilitators in 26 local areas across the country with training and classroom resources. We work with all kinds of schools. Contact us for information about linking in your area.

We deliver training courses on delivering effective school linking and facilitating a school linking project in an area. We offer CPD on Leading SMSC across a school and we offer bespoke support and review for school culture and ethos in your school. We can deliver staff meetings in school on SMSC including British values. See our courses page for further details

We have written many resources over time and trialled them in classrooms. You can find primary and secondary resources for linking and SMSC including recommended books, video clips, assemblies, and a pack of British values resources to help pupils explore and think through democracy, individual liberty, rule of law and respect for diversity.

We provide links to documents that outline the latest requirements for schools for SMSC including British values and positive curriculum responses that promote equality, diversity, identity and community. You can find evaluations and reports on our work here. We create extracts for schools from key educational documents.
